- 2nd effect altered to be once while it's face-up on the field. (1.1)

Much like the previous stuff I did in the past, Hydreigon's effects are themed after actual sets that it runs in competition.

So yeah, Pokemon designed for the metagame.

Material-wise, made it require DARK non-Tuners for flavor purposes, so you can't splash Hydra into any Deck you please.

It's Level 7 though, as per some of my flavor notes from last time.

First one is themed after its Pokedex entry about it destroying everything.

Initially, I wanted to give it free double attacks [that don't require a monster to be destroyed], but considering this card's 2600 ATK, I was not keen on making this a 5.2k sweeper with minimal prior damage.

Second effect is themed off of Taunt, which in this case, I translated that to negation.

You know, if you reduce the ATK a little (to weaken the first effect) to probably around... 2300-2400 (this also puts it out of EEV range, and allows it to be used with Dragon's Bind, which is hype) you could actually make it so that the discard isn't a cost, using a sort of "and if you do" wording, so it can trigger Shaddolls.

I mean, it is up to you, since it is your card and all, but that is the direction I would go with it.
